Quote: God answers according to his will, that we are not privy to.Then you have no basis for making any such claim, as you have no basis for determining this will or which prayer belongs to what camp (his will/not his will). It becomes a baseless assertion, which is not "absolutely logical", in fact it is not "remotely" logical. It is simply an empty claim. In this endeavour to make something mysterious...at some point, you're going to have to realize that the mystery cuts both ways.
Quote:The opposing claim that prayers are answered inconsistently are laughable. They don't address a supernatural God, therefore failing before they begin.Agreed, the proposal that prayers are answered -in any way-........ is laughable. "Supernatural god" proposals, similarly, fail before they begin, yes.
Quote:The answers are beyond our scope of knowledge. That process the above two assertions.If it is beyond your knowledge then you should avoid making claims to such knowledge.
Quote:That claim holds. You cannot disprove it.Claims do not "hold" by virtue of being uttered. No one has to disprove anything. Try again.
